IPL 2022, DC vs LSG Live Score Updates: Lucknow opt to bat first against Delhi

Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul has won and has opted to bat first at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Avesh Khan misses out for LSG, Krishnappa Gowtham comes in. 

It's an absolutely beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. It looks like a beautiful wicket. On this wicket, we are starting to see a trend, we are seeing the best spinners be a little bit braver. By a little bit braver, I mean they are starting to slow up - 75-90 km/h, you are starting to see more wickets taken. You got to be brave to bowl that speed and you obviously got to mix your lines and lengths. The bravest are surviving and the bravest are up for the fight. The wicket looks okay, 160-170 (will be a par-score), says Kevin Pietersen in his pitch report.

Toss in 10 minutes.

Delhi Capitals would expect more from their batters after an underwhelming display in their previous win, while Lucknow Super Giants must be eager to shrug off overdependence on skipper KL Rahul when the two teams clash in the IPL in Mumbai on Sunday. Delhi have endured a tough couple of weeks with a mini COVID outbreak in their camp and a no-ball controversy, however, Rishabh Pant and his troops came out from it to march to a four-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders. While the win boosted the Capitals’, who are sixth on the points table, playoff chances, the middle order collapse while chasing an easy total will be a cause of concern. Read More
